The weekly round up

Last week we found something liberals and conservatives can agree on: This is a horrendous design for a monument. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/02/21/redesign-the-ike-monument.html

On Monday, we found a frightening interactive map of student loan debt around the US. http://www.slate.com/articles/life/map_of_the_week/2012/02/student_loan_debt_an_interactive_map.html

On Wednesday, we had a service announcement: Please vaccinate your fucking children. http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2012/02/24/the_super_bowl_and_what_vaccinated_children_have_to_fear_from_anti_vaxxers.html

On Friday, we learned that a US District Judge should resign immediately.

And our lesson of the week:
David Brooks is so intellectually dishonest that he once again argues with himself. I am sure he would not want to offend the Georgetown cocktail party goers to point this out himself. I wonder if he has dreams about creating another stupid fucking sociological sounding term (Bo-bos!) about intellectually dishonest people who argue with themselves. A fascinating idea for his next ridiculous book! Retire and go away please. http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/political-animal-a/2012_02/possum_brooks035691.php
